Yeah, I'm pretty sure that I installed that update immediately when
it came out.

There were some other strange things going on on that machine too;
I remember having noticed and killed a daemon process that seemed to be
stuck at 100% CPU.  That might explain the sudden dropoff in runtimes in
early January.  And seeing that the times seem to be back up, I looked
just now, and there it is again:

PID    COMMAND      %CPU TIME     #TH   #WQ  #PORT MEM    PURG   CMPRS  PGRP
360    fontworker   75.9 238 hrs  4     4    45-   28M    0B     0B     360
359    fontd        25.3 86:18:50 4/1   3/1  74    33M+   0B     1396K  359
76     logd         12.7 26:25:16 5     5    611   31M-   0B     0B     76
46241  top          2.6  00:01.04 1/1   0    23    2140K  0B     0B     46241

Weird --- my other macOS machines aren't doing that.

Anyway, it looks like we should write off these longfin timings as
ambient noise :-(
